On the day He Xingyao ascended the throne and became emperor, the ceremony was extraordinarily grand.

Chu Yuechen, Murong Rin and others were all present, everyone was dressed brightly, and the street was beating and beating, which was particularly lively.

The people of the capital are very happy, after all, they have ushered in a new emperor, and this person is very popular with the people.

It's just that those deep-rooted magnates and families in the capital are almost all waiting, but they are also extremely cunning, although they can't resist their thighs now, and they can't reverse the general trend of the world, but in order not to offend He Xingyao, each family has sent a representative figure to appear at the enthronement ceremony.

The scene was extraordinarily grand, and the shore lady of the Li family was naturally present at that time.

She doesn't have any special concept of the emperor and courtiers, but as a noble daughter of a family, even if she has no concept, she always has a special mind.

The musicians in charge of the ritual system and the eunuchs who recited the holy decree stood on both sides of the various processes.

Speaking of which the enthronement ceremony was extremely cumbersome, He Xingyao couldn't help but want to complain, but she still completed everything very patiently.

Until the sunset, the various processes of ascending the throne were finally completed, and He Xingyao's whole person was so tired that his bones were about to fall apart.

But it's finally over.

In the evening, the attendees of the ceremony stayed behind and continued to attend the banquet in the palace.

He Xingyao had paid special attention to that Li Anniang before, so now that he saw this woman attending the banquet again, he was always a little happy in his heart.

That Li Anniang is not bad, although her impression of He Xingyao is not too deep, but it is not dull.

When the delicacies were served, He Xingyao personally entertained the people attending the banquet, and at the same time toasted three glasses with everyone present.

Li Anniang has always been a discerning person, although she is a weak woman, she always has some good feelings for the current emperor He Xingyao.

So, after toasting three glasses with everyone, Li Anniang couldn't wait to go to the front, and then stopped at the table in front.

I saw her personally walking over with a glass of wine and saying to He Xingyao: "Your Majesty, congratulations on your accession to the throne and becoming emperor, the courtiers are extremely happy in their hearts." ”

As soon as these words fell, He Xingyao directly said as if inadvertently: "Oh? It turned out to be the shore mother of the Li family, what's the matter, haven't you magnates in Beijing always been dissatisfied with me, the emperor? Even if you are happy, your family, what do they think? Are they willing to be courtiers for the daughter of a small family in Yuecheng? ”

What she said looked light, but Li Anniang and the maids beside her had already been so frightened that they were already prostrate on the ground, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads.

What He Xingyao said just now was just a tentative word, but she also knew that what she said was the truth, otherwise why would these people be so scared and so afraid?

That Li Anniang originally thought that she was also a woman, and now His Majesty the Emperor should be a little easy to deal with, that is to say, it is easier to fool, but I didn't expect to speak amazingly as soon as I spoke, which is not easy to do.

She was even scared into a cold sweat, and her whole body was a little trembling.

The maid was blind, and she had never seen the real world, so in the face of such a situation, she was naturally so scared that she didn't even dare to come out.

After a long while, Li Anniang said with a slightly trembling voice: "I ask the emperor to spare my life, the courtiers really have no other thoughts about the emperor's accession to the throne, and the same is true for the courtiers' families, and please don't listen to slander." ”

He Xingyao smiled, is this the anger of the Son of Heaven?

She thought it was incredible, but at the same time she had to do it.

So, she personally got down from her seat and helped Li Anniang up from the ground.

Li Anniang originally wanted to refuse, but He Xingyao didn't say anything else, so she just pushed it halfway.

He Xingyao thought it was funny just now, but now he only felt cold.

The glory of a family, but now to let a weak woman test the current emperor, even if she is also a woman, this feeling is really not very good.

After a long time, she spoke: "Li Anniang, in fact, I believe what you say, but you don't have to kneel at every turn, I am the same woman as you, so I don't want you to be used by others." ”

After hearing this, Li Anniang understood how good the current emperor is.

She is not willing to take great risks to tempt at all, but for the sake of the family, as well as the persecution of those high-sounding people in the family, she still has to embark on the most dangerous path after all, it turns out that for these, the emperor's psychology is actually very clear.

After figuring out this layer, Li Anniang felt more and more like a clown jumping off the beam, and even really wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into, and never came out.

It was also after listening to what she said just now that Li Anniang said with tears in her eyes: "It turns out that the emperor is very clear about everything, and the courtiers thought they were smart at first, but all of this could not escape the emperor's eyes, and the courtiers were ashamed, but for the sake of the family, they had to do this, and I also asked Your Majesty to forgive her sins and not to affect the family of the courtiers." ”

When He Xingyao heard this, he also felt a little empathy for a while.

I saw her look at the person in front of her and said: "Li Anniang, in fact, I know that you are a good girl, so I won't blame you this time, but after you go back, you will tell your family, if they really want to show their loyalty, don't let you bear all this, let them come in person, come to me in person to express their sincerity, instead of cowering behind a woman, so that they hide their heads and show their tails, which is more suspicious of their dissatisfaction with me." ”

Li Anniang looked at her and seemed to be dissatisfied, so she didn't say anything anymore, just nodded and agreed.

Chu Yuechen looked at this Li Anniang, speaking of which, their first family was also a big family in the capital at the beginning, and although they didn't know the situation in Li Anniang's family, they still had some understanding.

So, she also walked over with a wine glass, and pretended to be relaxed: "Yo, it turns out that this is the eldest girl of the Li family, I didn't expect your family to send you to the banquet, why, isn't your eldest brother a person in the family on weekdays?" Why are you here now? ”

The words made Li Anniang feel a little embarrassed, and she had no way to refute it, after all, this was originally the truth.

Chu Yuechen saw that she didn't speak, so she became more and more proud, and even continued to open her mouth and said: "But that's okay, it's time for the head of your family to be replaced, in fact, I think you're very good, but I don't know if you mean that?" After all, all the people in your family are going to sacrifice you to take risks, and if they get the benefits, they will definitely exclude you even more, haven't you thought about this? ”

These words were said directly in front of everyone, Li Anniang was really a little unbearable, but she still looked at everyone very calmly and didn't say a word.

He Xingyao didn't want this good enthronement ceremony to make a mess, so he stopped the two from continuing to quarrel and pulled Chu Yuechen aside.

However, Chu Yuechen was still scolding, and even complained: "Xingyao, why don't you let me say it?" What I said was originally the truth, Li Anniang is such a good person, she actually wants to give up her principle of doing things for the sake of the family, since this is the case, it is better for this family to make her the head of the family, and she can handle things easily, and there will not be too much trouble! ”

After saying this, He Xingyao directly knocked her on the head, and said with some disgust: "You, you, originally, I thought you were such a smart person, let's just talk about these words here, after all, we don't know the bottom of the affairs in other people's families, and we don't know what kind of situation it is, how do you feel that Anniang is a person who can take charge of herself?" ”

Chu Yuechen smiled and said a little unconvinced: "Xingyao, don't say it anymore, isn't this also for Miss Li's grievances, if she does it, you are really worth relying on, and then those people in their family rushed to flatter and start telling lies, do you think this is the scene you want to see?" ”

When she said this, Li Anniang's heart seemed to be a little touched, but she hadn't spoken yet.

But the maid beside her heard these words and felt that it was very reasonable, so she pulled her sleeve and said: "Girl, in fact, Xiao Yan also feels that what Miss Yuechen said is very reasonable, after all, there is no justifiable reason, they are all oppressing you and forcing you to move forward, but they ignore the reasonableness of all this, they will reap the benefits at that time, and girl, if you really become their outcast, then we will really have nowhere to cry." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yan actually said these words, Li Anniang's heart was a little uncomfortable.

For so many years, no one in the family has ever considered her, her mother died early, and she was not much valued by her father, almost a free-range state, although she was born in this kind of big family and never worried about food and clothing, but those people are two-faced, good to her, has never been just a use, those superficial relatives, uncles and uncles, and even cousins, are also undercurrents, in order to compete for their own interests, almost even ignore family affection.

When thinking about this, Li Anniang suddenly felt extremely cold, obviously it is not winter yet, and even autumn has not yet arrived, and the young leaves on the tree have not yet turned yellow, but she can feel the cold ice to the bones, this cold is due to the bones, cold to the bone marrow.

Chu Yuechen saw that she had no reaction all the time, so she thought that her words might be right, so this person was a little weak-hearted.

But Li Anniang actually doesn't think like this at all, she just needs to digest it, after all, she has received so much information at a time and thinks back to so many past events, she is always painful in her heart.

After a long time, Li Anniang bowed deeply to Chu Yuechen and said: "Thank you Miss Yuechen for waking up, in fact, Your Majesty is really good now, at least she didn't squeeze the people as ruthlessly as those emperors before, and Your Majesty's insight into people's hearts also made the courtiers particularly admired." ”

When he said this, He Xingyao smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "Actually, Anniang, from the first time I saw you, I thought you were a good person, you have a firm and extraordinary aura in you, and you are destined not to be an ordinary mediocre person." ”

Li Anniang also smiled, this smile is sincere, so sweet, not hypocritical at all.

Speaking of which, Li Anniang now understands the true meaning of being a human being for the first time, in the past, she lived for the family, even if the relatives in the family wooed her for their own interests, but after all, they were not really for her.

Li Anniang felt that since she met the emperor, she had understood a lot of things and learned a lot of truths that she had never understood before.

Maybe she actually knew those truths very well before, but she didn't want to think about it deeply, but now that she was suddenly mentioned, she even had a feeling of being in a different world.

When did it start?

Since when did the sincere smile on her face turn into a false and fixed smile? Since when did her relatives no longer attach importance to family affection and have always used her?

But no matter what, Li Anniang's awakening now can be regarded as a gratifying thing.

The other nobles who attended the banquet also began to examine their respective families after listening to what Chu Yuechen said, and all the girls fell into deep thought.

He Xingyao doesn't think this is a bad thing, after all, a person's awakening is also the beginning of a person's understanding of pain and suffering, and understanding the true meaning of life.

She was very glad that the words that Chu Yuechen said just now could be heard by so many people, which showed that those girls were able to awaken.

Li Anniang glanced at everyone in the hall, and then began to look at He Xingyao with firm eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, Chu Yuechen, thank you." ”

Chu Yuechen looked at her with a light like stars, and that light was a sign of confidence and charm.

He Xingyao felt that she was also a woman, and she should make a big tilt for the current situation of the majority of girls, even if the tilt was not strong, she felt that at least she had to change the status quo.

After thinking of this, He Xingyao ignored the opposition of everyone present, and directly appointed Li Anniang as the head of the Li family, and at the same time let her hang an idle post in the court, mainly to prevent Li Anniang from going home and being bullied.

Her approach quickly had a deterrent effect, but Li Anniang thanked her vigorously, and even burst into tears with excitement.

"Your Majesty, the minister really doesn't know what to say to be grateful, it is you and Yuechen who let the minister understand for the first time that as a person, the first thing is to live for yourself, not to sacrifice for the sake of the family, and it is also you, let the minister understand for the first time the mission and price of being a woman, not just for the family, but more importantly, for yourself, for the people, do real things, be an upright person, this is the true meaning of a person, living in this world."

After a pause, she continued: "How ridiculous, at the beginning, the minister was willing to do it for the family, but the minister himself did not end up with any benefits at all, it was you who gave me a second life, this is the first lesson on my awakening path, thank you." ”
